Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Is chiropractic care safe for kids?
Yes! The way in which our specially trained team at Family Chiropractic & Wellness cares for children is completely safe. The adjustments we give children are NOT the same as the adjustments you would see being given to an adult. Techniques and intensity vary greatly between people of all age groups.
Why do children need chiropractic care?
Children from birth are typically born with what are considered subluxations of the spine. A subluxations is a misaligned vertebrae within the spine from its normal position. The birthing process is extremely physically rough on a newborn no matter the birthing method. In the toddler stage, children often fall over and over while learning to walk. Each time a child falls and develops a subluxation, the child creates nerve interference in their body and beings a path of what we call "the perfect storm", which is a life of disease and sickness.
What pediatric age groups do Family Chiropractic & Wellness see?
We care for children as young as an hour old through adulthood. Ideally, we like to begin caring for the pregnant mother. This allows us to ensure to the best of our abilities that the mother can have the healthiest birth possible for her and for the child. We then are able to start care for children as young as an hour old!
